I have recently felt like God has forsaken me. I feel like just giving up. I am tired of trying to be the good example only to keep getting hurt by my husband of only seven months. I feel guilty for considering abortion to our unborn child, our first at that. But now since he's put his hands on me, I don't want to be tied down to him in any kind of way. I am exhausted mentally and hurt beyond imagination. Even though I feel this way, I still encourage others to come to God because I know what God has done for m in the past. However, I feel like the one thing I currently desired, which was for my marriage to work, my husband to be faithful to me, and for our child to be within a loving marriage has all gone down the drain within a matter of months. Although I know that God puts the ungodly on a slippery path to hell, allowing them to think that they are without fault, but I am tired. I know that I will move on, but how does one move on with such a heavy burden on their back?

God does not send anyone to hell. There is no such place.

Well, one thing is for sure. A child is a blessing from the Lord. I don't think it is Gods will for you to have an abortion. Especially when He blessed you with your child. However, I do think your situation should not be taken lightly. If your husband is abusing you than you should seek help. Either from a pastor, a friend, a counselor. And if all else fails than you should probably leave the home. If your husband wants you back upon leaving, than require him to finish some counseling before you move back into the home and make it clear that you will not stand to be disrespected or abused. You are worth more than that. God will never leave you or forsake you. Keep talking to Him and keep seeking Him. Trouble in our lives, does not mean God isn't there. Also, check out this website.

He has NOT forsaken you - if he is physically abusing you - do what I didn't - tell someone!!! It's not your fault what he does to you - no matter what he says......tell a family member, someone at church you can trust to keep this between you, someone unbiased to you or your husband. Your marriage is young and being pregnant makes things harder - before you go down that slippery slope of thinking of horrible things - talk to someone and ask the Lord to comfort you. He is there and wants you to draw nearer to Him - continue to be obediant to the Lord and this situation will make you closer to the Lord. Your hurting and I am so sorry your husband has hurt you so deeply with no remorse. God will address him - maybe not when YOU want Him to - but as the head of your family - he is most accountable to the Lord for how he treats his family. Trust in the Lord - read the Word, pray....

First of all, spare your child's life. Please. Secondly, are you sure this is the marriage for you? God tells us not to be unequally yoked, and while you don't say that your husband is physically abusive, that's sure what it sounds like. That is NOT part of God's plan for your life. Is your husband unfaithful? Then he has broken the marriage vows already. God will not condemn you for coming out from under an abusive relationship. And sometimes He has something much better waiting for you. I've seen it happen. That sense of weariness you feel comes from being out of step with His will for your life.

Matthew 22:37-40
37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
Mark 12:30 & Luke 10:27
Mark 10:27
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."
Matthew 19:26
Matthew 6:25-27
5"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
Psalm 9:9,10
9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
Psalm 25
1 To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
2 in you I trust, O my God.
Do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
3 No one whose hope is in you
will ever be put to shame,
but they will be put to shame
who are treacherous without excuse................
You move on by keeping your trust in God. Be praying, thanking, and praising Him everyday. And don't worry, through God all things are possible. He loves you and hasn't forsaken you. Don't you forsake Him, love Him back.

God has not forsaken you.
God loves you unconditionally.
if you wish your burdens to ease, seek God with a contrite heart and He will find you.
He did me.
believe that Jesus is God and did what He says He did on the cross, seek forgiveness for your sins and make Jesus Christ Lord of your life and you will be saved.
God will then change your life.

Get away from him immediately and raise the child on your own. Some very important souls are going to incarnate into the next 3 generations they will help all mankind.

God is always there. This may or may not be a door that needs to be closed in your life. But God always opens a bigger and better door for us. Pray everyday, and never lose faith.
